Material testing

Precision & repeatability
Mechanical components must be designed in such a way that unforeseeable errors are ruled out. Bearings and guide systems must be capable of extremely smooth, low-friction movements and high rigidity in order to minimize hysteresis and ensure high repeat accuracy with short cycle times. The goal is long-term consistent system performance that reduces calibration effort, minimizes mechanical play, and reliably maintains once-defined measurement parameters.

Compact design & large center clearance
With the miniaturization of testing systems and the increasing degree of automation, pressure is growing on machine manufacturers to develop space-saving yet powerful solutions. In addition to small size, a corresponding center clearance is often required to enable media to be moved through a bearing.

Cleanliness & low particle emissions
In semiconductor manufacturing, medical technology, and optical measurement systems in particular, even low particle emissions can distort measurement results or impair the product being tested. Only clean environmental conditions and appropriately suitable components make it possible to maintain high-quality measurement results.

Easy installation & maintenance
Test and measurement systems often vary greatly in terms of design, measurement principle, and mechanical installation situation. All components of a measurement system must meet these requirements. Individually adaptable bearings and linear guides can be optimally integrated into existing structures and designs.
